All could face the axe as the council looks to save money as part of its ‘City Centre First’ scheme to replace all exiting council service sites with five hubs in north, south-west, south-east, north-east and centre of the city.

The building will be knocked down later this year to avoid problems with vandalism.

A council officers’ report, prepared in response to the petition, said: “Local authorities are not under a statutory duty to provide public toilets.

“The council has, over the years, closed most of its suburban public toilets, to the extent that there are now only six public toilets open to the public in suburban locations.

“The provision of public toilets in suburban locations is one strand of the city centre budget reduction provision contained in the council’s budget for which proposals are due to come forward for consideration.”
